KU Grad Included In Oscar Awards
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — (UPI) — Sophia Loren, whose fear of losing kept her from appearing at the scene of her greatest triumph, today was acclaimed by Hollywood as the best actress of 1961 for her role in "Two Women."
Sharing her victory was Germanborn Maximilian Schell who won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in "Judgment at Nuremberg," at last night's 34th annual Academy Award presentations at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, making it a double win for foreign stars. Other awards:

William Inge, KU class of '35, won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for "Splendor in the Grass," at last night's Academy Award Presentations.
In 1953, Mr. Inge was awarded the Pulitzer prize in drama for "Picnic," a play whose setting like "Splendor in the Grass" was a small Kansas town.
His other plays include "Come Back Little Sheba," "Bus Stop," "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs," and "A Loss of Roses."

"West Side Story," Best Picture of the Year.
"West Side Story's" 10 awards placed the picture second in all-time Oscar competition, topped only by "Ben-Hur" which collected 11 golden statuettes two years ago. It also won an honorary award for "The Art of Choreography on Film," given to Jerome Robbins.
TWO OF ITS winers were Rita Moreno and George Chakiris who were voted Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor respectively.
The best song "Moon River," the theme for "Breakfast at Tiffany's."
In addition to Best Picture, the Best Supporting Actor awards and Best Direction, "West Side Story" also recorded Oscars for Best Art Direction of a Color Picture, Best
Cinematography of a Color Picture,
Best Costume Design of a Color Picture,
Best Film Editing, Best Music,
Best Sound Achievement.
BOB HOPE, the master of ceremonies, was mastered by a polished gate crasher who presented him with a gold statuette.
Stanley Berman, 35, a Brooklyn, New York, taxicab driver, calmly walked up to the stage while an award for the Best Cinematography for a Black and White Picture was being presented.
THE AWARD went to "The Hustler."
Berman, dressed in a tuxedo, approached Hope and said, "To you, Bob Hope, from the world's greatest gate crasher." Then he handed Hope a small golden statuette. Hope was so surprised he actually accepted the statuette.
Later the smooth operator from Brooklyn walked back to the audience and sat in a vacant seat. The seat belonged to the representative of the award winning "Ersatz," a Yugoslavian cartoon.
WHEN THE Yugoslavian representative returned to his seat, Berman nonchallantly got up and found another vacant seat.
During this award-worthy performance before one of the largest gatherings of actors and actresses, Berman was never approached by ushers or police.
"To the world's greatest comedian from the world's greatest gate crasher."
Berman told newsmen after the ceremonies the trophy cost $2, and was inscribed:
As Berman's moment of glory was drawing to a close, a husky policeman grabbed him by the arm and said, "Come on, sonny. It's over."
